Couple days left to get your MN turkey lottery applications in. Don't forget!

[Scott M]

Don't say you weren't warned!

Anyone care to reveal their choices for dates and why? My office is short staffed so I'm planning on not being able to get much time off and I went for a season with a full weekend. I went with "D" plus I don't like the gamble of cold, rainy, or snowy weather at the start of the season.

I went with C, mainly so if I get a bird on Sat or Sun I don't have to take days off from work. Wasn't able to do that with WI, so I will be going out "E" season cross the river...

I like the idea of one earlier and one later... Last couple years it seems like its either been early or late when the birds have been the best. Liking splitting up the Spring season. We'll see, season can't come soon enough.

Can't wait for team turkey board to show up in a thread...

I applied for the first season, knowing I won't draw, so I can get a preference point for next year. I plan on getting an over the counter tag for hunting a late season, maybe an archery tag.

I'll be hunting Kansas early in April, then Wisconsin early in May, then MN later in May.

[Archerysniper]

I allways apply for the first season to get a jump on everything, if I don't get drawn then I go over the counter archery wich is when I normally get my birds.

[eckum54]

I went with the second time period for two reasons...see how the winter into spring transition is going, and because its Monday through Friday season which works better for me

[engfish]

Season D works for me. The weather is warmer, and it gives me a weekend to hunt earlier than I've ever hunted. If not, I'll hunt mid-May like always.

[Shane Simpson]

I chose season A, Metro Unit since I will have access to private land north of St. Paul this year. I hope I draw because I hit the road for 3 weeks after that and will have to hunt in May if I don't draw.

[Gordie]

season A 223 always seem to have luck right away plus if I get it over quick enough I can spent some time looking for eyes or cats

[Hoyt4]

Season B for me better odds to pull a tag and has worked the last couple years. I will only have mornings and maybe one day off for this MN.

I start off in NE the start of April. Go to SD the 13th of April.

MN?

Then MI and WI after that.

I like hunting in the colder temps do not like moving around and getting too hot.

I don't think there is a bad time to turkey hunt.

I applied for 461B. I looked at the lottery success rate for the area and came to the conclusion that I would not get drawn for first season with only 1 preference point. Hopefully we draw, I juts moved to Montgomery and am excited to try hunting around home rather than heading to far SE MN!

[Borch]

One group applying for A, ( preference point) and another for D( no preference point). But we"ll hunt whenever we cab if not drawn.

[IceHawk]

Season B for me always good in the past!

[Papa Grump]

338 E for me as always. mushrooms and leek hunting at the same time too

[Code-Man]

I went with Season A because I work agriculture and hunt an hour away from where I work. I figure I got drawn last year for season B and if I don't get drawn for Season A I already plan on taking the bow out anyways so I will just buy an over the counter tag and hope planting season is wrapped up before that season! I'm excited especially since i only got one animal last year and it was my first turkey so it made up for my poor deer hunting season last fall.
